Founded in 1996 and located in Murcia (Spain), the Science and Water Museum is a public institution devoted to promote and spread scientific knowledge among the general public in a fun and interactive way.
The Museum organises regular activities for all audiences such as workshops, conferences or special events, and features four spaces: the Water Hall, the Temporary Exhibition Hall, the Planetarium and the Descubre H2O Room.
In the Water Hall visitors have fun discovering the relationship between water and living beings, our planet history, its chemical and physical properties and the importance of making responsible use of water resources.
You will enjoy our interactive modules, acquariums and terrariums which are grouped in different areas: water and science, water and life, water and geography and water and its uses, among others.
The Museum features an exhibitions space where visitors can access different temporary exhibitions dedicated to science and water themes, produced by the Science and Water Museum or by others institutions or museums.
Our scientific interests are very diverse. Some past exhibitions were about paleontology and mineralogy, vulcanology, mathematics, acquariology, geography, optics, entomology, medicine or music and astronomy.
In the same way, we have a commited with new techniques and interactive material.
Under the dome of our Planetarium you can enjoy a simulation of the night sky: contemplating the Milky Way, the largest stars and the constellations which the make up, the planets, the Moon… The Planetarium’s projector also allow us to make exciting virtual journeys through the Universe.
Sessions are conducted by a monitor, while the content can be adapted to the characteristics of the audience. The Planetariums’s programms are very versatiles, and we offer differents sessiones like «The Solar System», «Explore Our Night Sky» or «Documentary of the Month». At the weekend we screen special sessions for children and teenagers.
The DescubreH20 Room is designed to play learning and finding excitement around every corner. For children from 2 to 7 years old.
